Rudy, we must be related. I've told you this before.

I believe in the right of ownership for anyone that can jump through the hoops presented. Home protection is a damned lame excuse for owning one, though. C'mon-it's just fun as all get out. I don't own any-never felt the need. Have had friends all my life with them, though. I still like firing the BAR. If one is stout enough. Tina likes it too. Bruising and all.

This is all moot. No matter what the guv'mint decides to do-the criminals will still keep what they have and do everything they can to procure more. High-cap mags, full-auto weapons, newly restricted handguns, whatever.

Whatever the guv'mint does will only affect those who decide to follow the new rules.

Mental capacity checks? OK.

Background checks for any purchase? Wellllll...OK. Though, I've known MANY people over the years "...I wouldn't trust with a potato gun." I think Canada has the right idea here-mandatory safety training. But it would be a nightmare running that in the USA.

Registration for the firearms I already have? Not OK. I will draw the line there.

Restricting what video games and movies can show? Puleeease. How about better parenting? My 330 lb. son is interested in collecting and enjoyment firing new handguns. I have absolutely no problem with that. He is now an adult. Kinda'.
But, we had a long discussion about his temper and how that could cause him some real trouble if he goes over the line. I'm (we) are the kind of parents that will always guide our children through new waters. He understood, and, more importantly, agreed that the responsibilities of firearm ownership are little known and less recognized.

Sorry.
